Did you know that apparently over 78% of our barbecues are unplanned? (See my previous blog Great hot BBQ’s). You never know when the sun will be shining and company will turn up unannouced so stock up on some of the classic barbecue essentials and try out one of my favourite barbecue fish recipes.

You can always try barbecuing different fish for this recipe too like haddock or coley. This recipe is perfect for that camping holiday or if you our with your barbecue at the park or even if your really lucky down on the beach!

For my Salmon with Pesto and summer vegetables which take next to nothing to prepare and only about 15 to 20 minutes tops to cook you simply:

Light and preheat your barbecue to start with. Then tear 4 large pieces of foil. Slice up 2 courgettes (see my previous blog minnie marrow season is here ) and wash 150g of mange tout and divide these between you 4 pieces of foil. Take 4 salmon fillets and one on top of the vegetables in each of the 4 pieces of foil. Spread a generous 1 tblsp of pesto over the top of each piece of salmon. Finally squeeze some lemon juice over the fish and loosely wrap the fish in the foil and place on the barbecue to cook for approximately 15 minutes until the salmon is cooked. I serve mine with some freshly dug up baby new potatoes with a knob of butter and chopped fresh parsley.
